About PySSE

PySSE stands for Python Simple
Site Engine. It consists in a
relatively small Python script - to be used with mod_python - and a set of XML
and associated XSL files. It is meant to serve as a generator for
small, personal sites.

PySSE was initially written over a few months, going through different
incarnations (including pure XML + XSLT as well as a PHP version) as a
way to display my personnal page, but was then used by
Julie Bourbeillon for her
own site. The original versions required poking around in the XSL in
order to customise the site's layout and appearance, which caused quite
a few synchronisation headaches. Because of this, PySSE was recently
rewritten to allow for a more flexible, easier to customise configuration.
